Best Time to Go

During the summer, temperatures can rise to the 90s Fahrenheit during the afternoon, though evenings are often cooler due to the altitude. Snowfall is common between October and March, although that same snow often alternates with warm sunny days. Summer is the peak time for visitors, so if you want to save a little cash on hotels and attractions, November-March may be the time to go, for skiing and exploring the winter landscape.

There seems to be a festival occurring annually almost every month of the year in Denver, with the exception of August, when thunderstorms make event planning difficult at best.

Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art

Make it a weekend

Rock out downtown during Denver Day of Rock, a free Memorial Day music festival. Browse 230 artists' booths at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival during Fourth of July weekend. See the big finish of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge in Downtown Denver on August 28th. Weekends are packed with excitement this summer.
